well tonight was the beginning of our two weeks of swim lessons for the kids. when i first told evan what we were going to do, he started crying and said he didn't want to go. then, once he saw that sister was excited, he calmed down and was excited as well. his only hesitation was wondering if "dere are sharks in da swimming pool??" now where did he come up with that one?! once we got to the pool, he had a hard time waiting his turn to get in...he was super excited! ella had her lesson first and she was so brave! no tears, no fear...just a big girl who was willing to try it! she had a great time and can't wait for tomorrow. little man had a great time as well....doing the hokey pokey in the water with his daddy, going down the water slide, and floating along the lazy river learning how to blow bubbles! and there were no sharks to be found! he had so much fun that he cried and cried when we were leaving because he wanted to stay. and then it was all smiles when they both got to eat their "popkissles" (as evan calls them) when we got home!
Carver began his swim lessons yesterday as well. We attempted them last summer, but it was not pleasant-for anyone! He's in private lessons for two weeks and so far it's SO much better than last year. Swim teachers are my new heroes!
i'm a thirty something mother of two (whose names put together make "eleven") who is becoming quite forgetful. and this is one reason i have this blog...to document the day to day moments of my life that i am certain to forget (tomorrow). and it is "my eleven", the love of my dear husband and the loving mercy of my Creator that make my cup run over.
